Food And Mood: Investigating The Correlation Between Vitamin B12 Intake And Depression, Jana Soucar, Hawley Almstedt
Food And Mood: Investigating The Correlation Between Vitamin B12 Intake And Depression, Jana Soucar, Hawley Almstedt
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that metabolizes homocysteine, which is a potentially neurotoxic molecule when in excess. Studies show that a deficiency in vitamin B12, as well as folate, may be associated with mental health conditions. Additionally, the prevalence of depression is higher in college students than other demographic populations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate a correlation between vitamin B12 and folate intake with signs and symptoms of depression in college students. METHODS: This study was conducted by first providing participants with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to measure signs and symptoms of …

The Effect Of Outdoor And Indoor Group Exercise Classes On Psychological Stress In College Students: A Pilot Study With Randomization, Raeann C. Bramwell, Aspen E. Streetman, Gina Besenyi
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(5): 1012-1024, 2023. Emerging evidence suggests that outdoor group exercise may reduce stress more than indoor group exercise because the outdoor environment provides unique mental health benefits. Stress leads to illnesses and diseases, but exercise mitigates harmful impacts. This study explored differences in perceived stress and outdoor physical activity participation among college students in an indoor or outdoor group exercise class. Data were collected pre-, mid- (after four sessions), and post-intervention (after eight sessions). Seventeen participants indicated an interest in the study, but 13 signed up. Participants completed a four-week group exercise intervention that met …

Student-Athlete Perceptions Of Sources Of Stress And Coping, Tyler Richardson, Lucas Lancaster, Cory Driskill, Melissa D. Long
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The purpose of this study was to explore stress in student-athletes. Stress, especially distress, can lead to mental health issues. This topic has traditionally not been discussed in coaching but is becoming more necessary. Student-athletes are more in tune with their mental health than even before, and coaches are not always sure how to handle situations that arise on this topic. PURPOSE: The intent of this study was to help strength and conditioning coaches become more aware of their student-athletes’ stress and coping mechanisms. METHODS: This study was conducted through an emailed survey to student-athletes. No identifying information …
Athletes' Perception On How Psychological Effects Of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Influences Their Decision To Return To Sport, Jaci Mcelyea, Melissa D. Long
Athletes' Perception On How Psychological Effects Of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Influences Their Decision To Return To Sport, Jaci Mcelyea, Melissa D. Long
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries remain a common injury amongst student athletes. While some athletes return to play (RTP) and some do not, many athletes make the decision to not RTP. PURPOSE: This research study aimed to determine reasons why athletes choose to RTP or choose not to RTP. METHODS: Athletes from multiple universities were emailed a survey about their experience with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) and subsequent rehabilitation. RESULTS: Thirteen student-athletes participated in the voluntary survey. Seven athletes reported having ACL Reconstruction; all of responses with ACLR reported were female. Athletes varied in sport participation: …
